Ulzeraide Plus – Gut Health, Mycotoxin Binder and Probiotics
Equine Gut Health, Mycotoxin Binder, and Probiotics
Looking for a product to help with your horse's gut health and a mycotoxin binder? Look no further than Ulzeraide Plus! This unique formula contains a combination of probiotics, herbs, earth-based nutrients, and mannan oligosaccharides. These help assist digestion, absorption, and utilization of feed. Plus, it contains Aloe Vera Powder, which is an important building block in the normal tissue repair process of the gastrointestinal system. Even under the best management program, a horse can develop equine gastric ulcers and hindgut ulcers, from the stress of travel, stabling, competitions, separation anxiety, and injuries. Supplementing with a nutritional supplement can help, alongside veterinary medication and diet changes. Ulzeraide Plus is the ultimate nutritional supplement that helps support the Gastrointestinal system and contains a mycotoxin binder (Meriden Fusion DYAD) to aid in the management of the harmful effects of feed-borne mycotoxins.
If your horse experiences any of these symptoms below, it could be deficient in nutrients they are not receiving through its diet and would benefit from Ulzeraide Plus as a daily supplement.
- Colicky, poor appetite, eating slowly, walking away from meals, not eating hay, weight loss, and overall poor condition.
- Noticeably depressed, tension in the jaw and face, spooky behavior—showing signs of gut pain, and bloated stomach.
- Girthy, resistant to grooming, and showing aggression, (biting, kicking, ears back, and tail swishing).
- Body soreness over the lumbar region and withers, soreness through the flank and over the last rib.
- Poor athletic performance, kicking out, bucking, tail swishing, reluctance to move forward, tense when ridden, stiff neck and shoulders, and difficulty bending.

Vitamin B1 plays a crucial role in the proper transmission of nerve impulses, allowing horses to feel more focused and at ease.
If your horse or pony shows any of the symptoms below, they would benefit from daily supplementation of Pazture Mag:
- Hates being touched or groomed.
- Muscle pain, spasms, cramping, twitches, tremors, and flinching.
- Grumpy during cover changes.
- Spooky, when normally calm.
- Over-reactive to stimuli, such as sound and movement.
- Lacks concentration when ridden, especially in Spring and Autumn.
- Inconsistent behavior from one ride to the next.
- Increased excitability or bucking.
- They are difficult to handle or ride when they are normally cooperative.
What does Thiamine, (Vitamin B1) do for horses?
Thiamine is needed for the efficient metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is also critical for the processing of lactic and pyruvic acids, which contribute to "tying up" and is especially important in competition horses that are often fed large amounts of grain to support athletic ability.Vitamin B1 may be lacking due to:
- Hard Working Horses
- Horses on high grain diets
- Horses suffering from hindgut acidosis
- Horses suffering from stress
Why feed Magnesium to Horses?
Magnesium plays an important part in nerve and muscle function. Horses who are deficient show signs of nervousness, and excitability, are jumpy, and have tight sore backs which are not related to saddle fit. They have muscle tremors and skin hypersensitivity. A magnesium-deficient horse is likely to have a poor tolerance to work, fatigue quickly, and be prone to tying up. They build up lactic acid more quickly which is why magnesium deficient horses sometimes have behavior problems. They fatigue more quickly after work and don't recover as well. When a horse gets excited, its body uses magnesium to calm down and relax. The lower the magnesium level, the lower the threshold for new stress. Magnesium deficient horses can start calm during exercise. As the session progresses, they become spookier and more stressed.What Causes Magnesium Deficiency?
Magnesium tends to be deficient in Spring grasses due to the fast rate of growth. This is part of the reason why horses exhibit signs of Spring Flush (silly behavior), as magnesium deficiency commonly results in behavioral problems in horses.From: $32.50

Pazture Guarde – Pasture and Muscle Support, Encouraging a Calm Focused Mind
Pazture Guarde
During Spring and Autumn, it can be a Rollercoaster ride for some horse and pony owners as they deal with a "Grass affected Horse" and grass allergies. While limiting grass can be effective it does not always work. Supplementing with nutrients missing in the diet can make a huge difference to temperament and well-being. After feeding Pazture Guarde daily, the results will be seen quickly, generally 1-5 days depending on the horse or pony's living and feeding arrangement.
If your horse shows any of the symptoms below, your horse would benefit from daily supplementation of Pazture Guarde:
- Hates being touched or groomed.
- Muscle pain, spasms, cramping, twitches, tremors, and flinching.
- Grumpy during cover changes.
- Spooky, when normally calm.
- Over-reactive to stimuli, such as sound and movement.
- Lacks concentration when ridden, especially in Spring and Autumn.
- Inconsistent behavior from one ride to the next.
- Increased excitability or bucking.
- Difficult to handle or ride when they are normally cooperative.
- Fence walks or runs especially when the grass is growing.
- Puffiness/swellings legs or body.
Benefits of feeding Pazture Guarde:
- Quick-acting daily supplement that will help restore a calm focused mind in no time.
- Helps the grass-affected horse cope with changes in the pasture by supplying a source of magnesium aspartate, thiamine (Vitamin B1), and sodium salts.
- Helps maintain and restore healthy pH.
What does Thiamine (Vitamin B1) do for horses?
Thiamine is needed for the efficient metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is also critical for the processing of lactic and pyruvic acids, which contribute to "tying up" and is especially important in competition horses that are often fed large amounts of grain to support athletic ability.Vitamin B1 may be lacking due to:
- Hard-working horses
- Horses on high grain diets
- Horses suffering from hindgut acidosis

What causes Magnesium Deficiency?
Magnesium tends to be deficient in Spring grasses due to the fast rate of growth and it can be lacking in the soil. This is part of the reason why horses exhibit signs of Spring Flush (silly behavior), as magnesium deficiency commonly results in behavioral problems in horses.Why feed Magnesium to Horses with Grass Allergies?
Magnesium plays a role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It is a vital part of energy production, nerve and muscle function, and the regulation of heart rate. Horses who are deficient show signs of nervousness, and excitability, are jumpy, and have tight sore backs which is not related to saddle fit or injury. They have muscle tremors and skin hypersensitivity. A magnesium-deficient horse is likely to have a poor tolerance to work, fatigue quickly, and be prone to tying up. They build up lactic acid more quickly which is why magnesium deficient horses sometimes have behavior problems. They fatigue more quickly after work and don't recover as well.The Benefits of Feeding Sodium Bicarbonate.
Sodium bicarbonate is good old baking soda. It is a combination of hydrogen, carbon, and three oxygen atoms. Sodium bicarbonate plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's acid-base balance, (pH) within safe limits, protects the intestines from stomach acid, and is vital in maintaining electrical balance in the horse's body. The sodium bicarbonate in Pazture Guarde is not Encapsulation as per “EquiShure’. Sodium Bicarbonate is a white crystalline powder (NaHCO 3 ) better known to chemists as sodium bicarbonate, bicarbonate of soda, sodium hydrogen carbonate, or sodium acid carbonate. It is classified as an acid salt, formed by combining an acid (carbonic) and a base (sodium hydroxide), and it reacts with other chemicals as a mild alkali.The Benefits of Feeding Vitamin C, (Sodium Ascorbate).
Pazture Guarde contains sodium ascorbate which is a form of vitamin C that has sodium components that help lower its acidity levels. The sodium content helps vitamin C to be easily absorbed and stay longer in the body. As a water-soluble antioxidant, Vitamin C can help keep the horse healthy in times of stress. As an antioxidant, the vitamin works to fight against free radicals by neutralizing them and therefore rendering them non-harmful. If antioxidants are unavailable free radicals can build up in the body leading to damage to cells and tissues. Vitamin C also plays a role in the immune system of the horse. This vitamin helps to enhance how the immune system works by stimulating the formation of antibodies. Antibodies are proteins that are needed for fighting off invading pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.Factors that Influence Vitamin C.
Healthy horses grazing on fresh forage should get sufficient Vitamin C through their diet. However, many horses do not have the opportunity to graze continuously and are involved in training programs, which can be stressful to the immune system. Factors that influence Vitamin C status in the horse can include stresses that happen regularly such as the stress of competition, transportation, and changes in the environment. Surgical interventions such as castration and vaccination can reduce tissue levels of Vitamin C and the disease status of the horse such as infections, viruses, and parasitism. Therefore, when it comes to supplementation, although horses can synthesize this vitamin within their body, in times of stress from training or performance, Vitamin C levels may be depleted, and supplementation is required to support immune function and to support healthy connective tissue.From: $41.50

Essentials Formula 1 With Selenium – Equine Vitamins, Minerals, and Hoof Supplement
Essentials Formula 1 with Selenium for Horses
Affordable equine minerals and horse supplements are available at Power Star Nutrition. This supplement contains selenium. THE NEW UPDATED Formula has 50% more Biotin, plus extra L-Lysine and L-Methionine. This is a super equine vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and hoof supplement all rolled into one. It encourages a shiny coat, healthy hooves, and topline. It is specifically formulated for NZ conditions. It provides essential nutrients lacking in many feed crops, pastures, and soil. It has no added iron, making it the perfect supplement for horses and ponies grazing on NZ pasture and drinking bore water with high iron content. Essentials Formula 1 is one of the best copper and zinc supplements for horses on the market. It is designed for horses and ponies not receiving premix feeds. It can also be fed in situations when a very small amount of premix feed is fed, and daily recommended vitamin and mineral requirements are not being met. The level of selenium will generally keep the average horse or pony at current selenium levels unless the soil is fertilized with selenium prills or the pasture is high in selenium. Getting your horse's blood tested for selenium yearly is highly recommended.
Essentials Formula 1, Selenium Free is recommended when:
- Your horse or pony receives a blood test showing high selenium levels but still requires a vitamin and mineral supplement to maintain health with no selenium added.
- Is being supplemented with selenium from your veterinarian or other supplements?
- Grazing on a property that has high levels of selenium in the soil and pasture.
Equine Minerals: The Importance of Zinc, Copper, and an Iron-Free Formulation
New Zealand's pasture, hay, and feed crops have high iron levels which can reduce the availability of zinc and copper. The most common mineral imbalance in hay is too much iron combined with low zinc and copper levels. A high iron concentration can interfere with both zinc and copper absorption, making already low levels of these minerals even less available to your horse. Until recently, the veterinary industry has viewed iron toxicity in equines mainly as an acute condition—the result of overdosing on iron-containing supplements. However, researchers have found that equines exposed to high iron levels in water, grass, or hay over a prolonged period can accumulate the mineral in their livers, resulting in chronic iron overload. Black-skinned horses which include greys need more copper and zinc than others. Bays and chestnuts will look washed out with lighter colors than normal coats, and the blacks will have a definite reddish look. Horses need copper in their diets to properly utilize iron and to develop healthy connective tissue. It is also important for horses with allergies. It can lower the concentration of histamine in the body. Copper also helps to keep the central nervous system running correctly. In adult horses, a deficiency of copper and zinc in the diet may cause limb deformities, thinning of the bones, swelling of the joints, blood vessel weakness, connective tissue weakness, saggy skin, and a lowered immune system. Copper is the main mineral for the body to produce T cells. It is also important for bone integrity, heart health, skin pigmentation, and to prevent premature graying. Horses showing signs of low iron levels can be supplemented according to veterinary instructions. When copper deficiency occurs, iron levels fall too short, and anemia can develop.Avoid Added Iron
Avoid vitamin and mineral supplements for horses that contain added iron as an ingredient. Horses typically obtain more than enough iron from their diet, and excess intake could have negative health consequences. Products with added iron will have one of the following ingredients listed on the label:- iron oxide
- ferrous furmate
- ferrous sulfate
- ferrous gluconate
Magnesium
It does not contain Magnesium. Magnesium requirements are individual and a different magnesium product like Pazture Guarde or Pazture Mag can be added separately.NZ Natural Zeolite
Essentials Formula 1 and 2 contain NZ natural Zeolite in the form of Optimate, an ACVM-registered toxin binder. This is a highly bioavailable natural form of silica that supports bone and connective tissue health. Performance horses and senior horses may especially benefit from Zeolite.Are you looking for a way to improve your horse's hoof health?
Essentials Formula contains high levels of Biotin. Each 22.5-gram scoop contains 15mg of biotin. This sulphur-containing B vitamin is essential for healthy hoof growth and plays a role in hoof horn quality and hoof wall strength. Biotin supplementation has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it can help correct biotin deficiencies, improve hoof hardness, and promote overall hoof health.Features:
🐎 Essential for healthy hoof growth: Biotin is an essential coenzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fat, enabling support of growth, performance work and reproduction. 💪 Improves hoof hardness: Biotin is used in supplements to improve the quality of the horse’s hoof and is also beneficial to the coat. 🦄 Promotes overall hoof health: By using a biotin supplement in your horse’s feed, it can help promote strong, healthy hoof horn growth.How it works:
Biotin should be fed to horses needing to improve poor hoof horn and develop healthy hooves. It acts as an essential coenzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates, protein, and fat and so enables support of growth, performance work, and reproduction. Biotin is particularly important for normal thyroid and adrenal gland function.From: $30.50

Mega Dog Formula – Joint Supplement and Wellbeing
Dog and Canine Joint Supplement
Do you want your dog to live a long, healthy, and active life? Then you need Mega Dog Formula joint supplement!
Mega Dog Formula is a nutritional joint supplement that will help soothe your dog’s achy joints and increase mobility, especially as your dog ages. Dog arthritis can be a painful condition. Feeding Mega Dog Formula from an early age ensures your puppy gets the very best nutritional support. It helps support natural growth and development through to fully grown maturity, setting a puppy up for a fit, active, and happy life.Some of the benefits of Mega Dog Formula Joint Supplement
- Helps soothe achy joints
- Increases mobility
- Helps support natural growth and development
Stormy Harford is a Siberian Husky and is 16 years old, these are recent photos of her on 4th July 2022. Mega Dog Formula has made a huge difference to her mobility and well-being throughout her years. She has been eating this since she was 6 years old, sprinkling on her food at night. Stormy still gets excited to go for daily walks, can still jump up on the bed, and loves going for a drive in the Ute. For the last two years, she has developed a slight stiffness in her hip and front paw but provided she eats Mega Dog daily this is less noticeable.
Dog Joint Supplements are recommended for:
- Large breeds, and breeds that are prone to joint problems.
- Puppies, once they stop growing (typically right after 12 months) enter the BEST time to start experiencing the greatest benefits of joint supplements.
- Older dogs
- Working Dogs
- After an Injury
Mega Dog Formula Ingredients:
- Rich in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and Omega 3 fatty acids: help support healthy joints and connective tissue
- Glucosamine + chondroitin: help support healthy joints
- Joint support: helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the joints
- Antioxidants: help to protect the cells from damage
- Immune support: helps to keep the immune system strong
- Trace minerals: help to support the body's systems
- Digestive support: helps to keep the digestive system healthy
- Support for the connective tissue, bones, tendons, and cartilage: helps to keep the body's systems healthy and functioning properly.
- No artificial ingredients, additives, or preservatives.
- No wheat, rice, sugar, grains, cereals, soy, or gluten
Green Lipped Mussel Powder:
Green Lipped Mussel is 100% pure and sourced from clean, green New Zealand waters. These waters are primarily situated in the Marlborough Sounds. The powder is made by freeze-drying raw green-lipped mussels. This is then milled into a powder. The result is a naturally pure product that contains no additives or preservatives. It is one of nature's best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, chondroitin, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Nutrients naturally contained in Green Lipped mussels assist with synovial fluid in the joints, and speed the repair of ligaments and tendons. It significantly increases joint mobility.MSM - Methysulfonylmethane:
Is an organic form of sulfur and an essential bonding element, for skin, nails, and connective tissue. As the body ages, the concentration of MSM in the body begins to decrease, so deficiencies may occur as part of the aging process. A low concentration of MSM in the body may result in both physical and psychological stress, organ, and tissue malfunction plus fatigue. A deficiency will result in a dull coat, skin problems, poor gastric health, low immune systems, and joint pain. The drying and processing of dog food considerably reduces and destroys MSM so adding it to the diet is important.Diatomaceous Earth:
It is the microscopic remains of fossilized diatoms, a type of algae. Diatoms are found in freshwater and saltwater. Diatom cell walls are made of silica. In today's grains, there is a shortage of silica. Years ago, the silica found in our foodstuff was adequate. With today's hybrids and depleted soils, only about 1/3 of the silica needed is supplied in the dog’s diet. Silica is important for bones, tendons, skin, cartilage, and blood vessels. It promotes improved health, well-being, and digestive health. Diatomaceous Earth also contains 15 trace minerals.Turmeric Root Powder:
Dogs can benefit substantially by adding turmeric to their diet. It is used in Indian curries and has a history of use in Indian and Chinese traditional medicine. It is a perennial plant of the ginger family. Curcumin is thought to be the principal pharmacological agent in turmeric. Today it is one of the most extensively researched herbs/spices for pharmacological use. It is favored for its potentially beneficial use in helping an extensive range of health conditions due to its excellent qualities. Clinical studies have proven that curcumin provides highly powerful antioxidant effects and its ability to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals cause painful inflammation and eventual damage to joints.Glucosamine Sulphate:
Is it a natural substance found in your pet's body, with the highest concentration found in healthy cartilage? The glucosamine in your dog's body produces glycosaminoglycan, which is used to help form and repair body tissues such as cartilage. As your dog ages, the natural production of glucosamine in the body slows. As a result, the natural repair process in the body slows, eventually leading to joint pain and stiffness. The ongoing wear and tear on your dog's joints, combined with the slowed repair time of the cartilage, leads to the development of painful arthritis. The good news is that research has found that providing supplements of glucosamine for dogs can help rebuild cartilage, which can help restore your dog's joint function and activity levels.Benefits of glucosamine for dogs:
- Glucosamine has an anti-inflammatory effect, helping to reduce your dog's pain.
- Side effects are very rare.
- Helps restore joint health naturally, increasing mobility.
- Improves lubrication in your dog's joints.
- May reduce or eliminate the need for NSAIDs, which have possible side effects and don't repair the joints, only reduce pain.
Humic Acid:
Our Humic Acid is a registered feed product for animals overseas. It is a unique earth-based nutritional supplement for use when requirements for trace minerals are not being met by the dog’s diet. It soothes and supports the digestive tract and provides the nutrients to help assist with gut ulcers. It supports the immune system and helps your dog look shiny and well.Vitamin C - (Sodium Ascorbate):
Vitamin C benefits the sick and the stressed. This may be appropriate when dealing with healthy unstressed animals, but recent clinical observations indicate that when dogs are sick or stressed, they can rapidly deplete their body's output of vitamin C. A 1942 study noted that dogs with skin diseases usually have very low amounts of vitamin C in their blood. Other researchers have found the blood levels of vitamin C to be low and even non-existent in dogs with fevers and dogs who have exercised to their limits (sled dogs after a race, for example, or hunting dogs in the middle of hunting season). Stress is the best-known cause of vitamin C depletion in dogs. Physical stress comes in many forms: gestation, lactation, growth, hard work (dogs used for herding, hunting, tracking, etc.), vaccinations, injuries, tail-docking or ear cropping, and illness. Emotional stress, caused by relocation, weaning, or demanding training, can also deplete this reserve. Researchers can measure the level of stress a dog experiences by measuring the degree of depletion of the vitamin in the dog’s blood. Conversely, many studies have found that dogs (as well as humans) that are supplemented with vitamin C show greater disease resistance, and a better ability to recover from injuries or illness. Mega Dog Formula is designed for puppies, growing dogs, and older dogs. It is a powder that is sprinkled on food.From: $36.00

Anna McKee shares her review below:
About 9 months ago my retired horse Tom, a 20 year old Warmblood TB started to really struggle to keep his feet up while being trimmed. Tom had become increasingly stiff but had always been OK to trim. He could no longer get his legs forward to keep his hoof on the hoof stand. He became reluctant to even lift his foot off the ground. My trimmer had to get very creative to get the job done which became increasingly difficult for her and Tom. I tried giving him a high dose of Bute before trimming but it made no difference. Walking him for 15 minutes before his trim helped a little bit but not enough to show any real improvement.
In early February I was given a sample of Power Star Nutrition White Willow. 3 days before his trim I started giving it to Tom, gradually increasing the dose to the maximum the night before and the morning of trimming. The improvement was dramatic. Tom was able to put his foot up on the stand and keep it there. His trim was straightforward and done with ease. My Trimmers were thrilled and relieved. I decided to wait for 2 more trims to be done just to be sure that it was the White Willow that was making the difference. The next trim went really well.
At the time of his third trim I was really busy caring for some feral kittens and as I was so distracted I forgot to start the White Willow 3 days before the trim. For that trim Tom only got the high dose, the night before and the morning of the trim and once again it worked its magic and he was comfortable being trimmed.
This has made such a difference and I am so happy that Tom is comfortable and my trimmer is safe doing her job.
I would recommend this product very highly to anyone whose horse is struggling with joint issues or pain.

MSM for Horses: Supporting Healthy Joints and Muscles
Do you want to support your horse's healthy joints and muscles?
MSM for horses with Vitamin C is here to help! MSM, (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a well-known antioxidant that supports healthy joints, skin, coats, hooves, and more. Vitamin C helps promote an active lifestyle and aids in recovery from injuries. These two together are a dynamic duo for supporting your horse's health!Do you want your horse to be able to move more freely and recover from injuries quickly?
MSM for horses with Vitamin C is a supplement that helps horses and ponies move more freely and recover from injuries more quickly. It also has benefits for equines with poor hoof condition, as well as performance horses thanks to its ability to minimize oxidative damage and inflammation, boosting muscle recovery time.Here are some of the Benefits of MSM and Vitamin C:
- Helps horses and ponies move more freely and recover from injuries quickly.
- Benefits for equines with poor hoof condition.
- Minimizes oxidative damage and inflammation, boosting muscle recovery time.
Why Feed MSM for Horses?
- Although naturally occurring in foods such as Lucerne and whole grains, the amount of MSM from the horse's diet is unlikely to be a significant contributor compared to supplementing with the pure ingredient.
- MSM is essential for joint health and one of its most important roles is the production of collagen, which is a component of connective tissue and cartilage which are the “shock absorbers’ of the joints. MSM can be beneficial for any horse, young or old, in need of additional joint support.
- MSM has benefits for heavily exercised horses by minimizing oxidative damage and inflammation allowing their muscles to recover quickly. It is frequently given to high-performance horses to keep them in top competition shape.
- It can help to promote an active lifestyle, by helping older horses to stay comfortable and mobile.
- It can support the production of keratin – a protein that makes up hair, hooves, and skin. MSM is wonderful for promoting healthy hooves.
- It helps support soft tissue, tendon, and ligament health. MSM can prevent oxidative damage; help to produce glutathione (an antioxidant that keeps tissues healthy); and is rich in sulfur for joint, tissue, tendon, and ligament health.

My pony Jinx had previously had stomach ulcers but even after treatment, he was still off and on being grumpy when touched and had a very tense choppy way of going especially his canter. So we started using Ulzeraide Plus to prevent the ulcers from coming back and it changed his whole way of going! He’s now a very chilled-out pony who really covers the ground when moving. He has always been a very successful show pony but since getting on top of the ulcers he can now put in a very good dressage test starting out at Level 2 this year with some scores in the 70s! He can also score well in his canter work and has recently come home with lots of champion paced and mannered in the show ring something we never thought would be possible before. I’ve had amazing results with the power star nutrition products and highly recommend them.

My 15-year-old mare Jazz has been using Power Star Nutrition supplements for 4 years now. In 2016 I contacted Rachel for nutritional advice and started Jazz on Pazture Mag and Ulzeraide. It worked on her within 3 days of feeding. Her temperament changed dramatically and was a pleasure to ride. She went from spooking at her shadow to relaxed and rideable. I then added ‘Ease Up’ for her joints as she was always a bit stiff starting on a ride. This too has had an amazing effect on her. She feels so much softer throughout her body! And is much happier in her work. Yay! 
I also started my mare Jay on the supplements. Jay’s coat is amazing! She won best Rheinland Mare last week on the Hanoverian tour! The judges were all very impressed with her shiny coat and dapples. The girls have been so happy and relaxed the past month.
